Canadian beauty enthusiasts, the moment you've been waiting for has arrived. Ulta Beauty's highly anticipated Early Black Friday sale is now officially here, offering staggering discounts of up to 40% on a vast selection of cult-favorite products. This early gift to shoppers is creating a major buzz, with many beauty reviewers and TikTok influencers claiming that this sale offers significantly better value than the current promotions from competitor Sephora.
Why Shoppers Are Choosing Ulta Over Sephora
The consensus among the 'girlies' on Beauty TikTok is clear: for snagging essentials across hair, skin, makeup, and nail categories, Ulta's Early Black Friday event comes out on top. A significant factor tipping the scales in Ulta's favor is its widely preferred points system, which offers greater rewards and benefits for loyal customers compared to other beauty retailers.
Shoppers can find impressive discounts on prestigious brands including MAC, Stila, Tarte, Dibs, OPI, and Dime. The sale also features an array of adorable mini product versions, allowing you to test high-end formulas at a steal before committing to the full-size price. New deals will continue to drop through November 22, so it pays to keep checking back.
